Yes. It was a kid's show that started in the late 50's, and I think it ended mid-70's or something like that. They still show it on re-runs daily. He lived in a castle with some little animal friends (Rusty the rooster and Jerome the giraffe and a Siamese Cat band that sometimes played classical and sometimes jazz. It was all pretty funky stuff. The intro and extro music was him playing an old English folk song, I think "Early One Morning", on the recorder. Your pastoral scenes reminded me of Friendly taking us on a walk through the area around his castle. It was meant as a compliment. <g> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
